* The ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' Third Edition sourcebook Book Of Exalted Deeds includes at least one spell that manifests a rain of magical flower petals.
** To be more specific, the lower-level spell creates a rain of red roses whose smell makes evil creatures [[Standard Status Effect|violently sick]]. The more powerful one creates a rain of black tulips that [[Made of Explodium|explode on contact]] with evil creatures.
** Back in first-edition AD&D, 17th-level monks (the highest that class could go) were called "Grand Masters of Flowers". Which didn't ''sound'' very badass, but they were.
Line 81:
* In ''[[Touhou]] 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom'' (of course), the final boss Yuyuko Saigyouji has the [[Danmaku]] pattern "Perfect Cherry Blossom of Sumizome" (of course), which clutters the screen with falling petals. In the fighting games, it's her underling Youmu that makes cherry petals appear all around her when she slashes her sword real quick. In both cases, they're deadly or damaging to your health bar. However, if you collect the harmless sort of cherry petals (or the larger-value cherry blocks), you earn your way towards a Supernatural Border, which makes you invincible for a short time and allows you to clear the entire screen of bullets with the touch of a button.
** [[Green Thumb|Yuuka]] [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|Kazami]] uses various flowers and petals as her bullets. She's also one of the more powerful characters in the series.
* In ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', Rachel's [[One-Hit Kill|Astral Finish]] causes her opponent to explode in a shower of rose petals.
* ''[[Dead or Alive]]'''s Kasumi has a [[Cherry Blossom]] motif, which she can use to ''teleport''; her half-sister Ayame does the same with iris petals (appropriate to her name). [[Ninja Gaiden|Ryu]] and Hayate (Kasumi's brother) does it with leaves.
* In ''[[Flower]]'', it's pretty much the main thing, allowing you to open flowers and bring color back to the landscape. It is also useful for {{spoiler|destroying some of the man-made structures or making them useful}}.
